Accordingly, Jaguar will provide Envision with a new high-voltage electric power unit, as well as the inverter, transmission, cooling system, housing and suspension. The two brands fully identify with each other, which is an important reason for the alliance. In addition, both are based in Great Britain.

Sharing a winning experience will be an important key to the development of the teams for the future. The agreement will run from 2022 to 2026. Between Envision Racing and Jaguar TCS Racing there are 15 wins and more than 40 podium finishes, placing the technical expertise of the two at service and benefit of the parties involved.

“I am proud to announce that we will be providing Envision Racing with our Jaguar powertrain in Gen3. They are one of the most competitive teams in Formula E and it is an honor they have chosen to use our technology for this new era of the category. We look forward to work and more success together in the future,” said James Barclay, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover Motorsport.

Norman Nato’s Performance in 2021

A second place was scored on his list at the time of starting at the E-Prix of Rome with ROKiT Venturi Racing, finishing third in the race, but unfortunately he was disqualified as a result of consuming more energy than allowed by regulation.

In Valencia, he saw the chequered flag in second place, but a new penalty relegated him to fifth place after being found responsible for an incident with Alexander Lynn. Like any rookie, he has shown small mistakes, but that doesn’t mean he is not talented enough to be on the electrified division.
